Thank you both for your opinions!
If it were you, would you opt for this (used) set up over the first one I described? (I guess the good point of the one below is it is brand name..bad point is that it is smaller filter than the other one)
Hayward pool pump, filter and motor. 1hp motor, 3450rpm, 115v.
Jacuzzi Brand Laser Sand Filter. Model 250L. 35" high x 25" diameter, 350lb sand capacity.
(although it says 35", I think it must be the 25" high model http://www.intheswim.com/Pool-Filter...-ground-pools/ )
Jacuzzi 7 position diverter, basic assembly.
